Insofar as everything is conclusive during the first weeks of the summer transfer window, Liverpool received an unequivocal no no with Alexander Isak.
Arne Slot would like nothing more than to face her project with the “World Class Assassin” of Newcastle United, as Isak was referred by Pundit Alan Shearer, but Pif wants a package in the region of 200 million pounds Sterling to free him from his £ 120,000 contract per week.
This will not happen, in all likelihood. However, this does not mean that Liverpool will arouse their interest in a new new number. There are other market options.
Liverpool is generously spent this summer, but it is hardly an approach to the dispersion of Michael Edwards and the sports director Richard Hughes; Even more, the execution of meticulous planning.
The rapid nature of their activity highlights FSG’s reflection strategy, with the club record which signing OD Florian Wirtz the perfect representation of this fact.
Why Liverpool signed Florian Wirtz
Wirtz is now officially a Liverpool player. Last week, the Merseysiders agreed fixed costs of 100 million pounds Sterling – which could reach a British record of 116 million pounds Sterling – for the star of Bayer Leverkusen; Now the Premier League champions have officially announced their marquee move.
After a few prolonged negotiations, Wirtz is finally that of Liverpool and will bring his “truly generational talent” – as Cristian Nyari said, the sports media professional – to the Slot team, an intimidating thought for the club rivals in the country and abroad.
But not for Liverpool. While the decision of Trent Alexander-Arnold to leave for Real Madrid disturbs more than a few, we have here a playmaker exceeding a different race, which could lead years of successful success.
And although Liverpool is unable to guarantee Isak’s services this summer, there is every chance that Wirtz can direct the supply range for another first-rate centerpiece.
Liverpool align a new striker
Several alternatives are at stake for Liverpool, notably Hugo Ekitike, but according to Rousing the Kop, Liverpool identified the Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as the perfect option to sign this summer, if Isak remains out of reach.
Osimhen, who finished a successful loan decision with Galatasaray last season, is looking to leave Naples this summer and would have a liberation clause of 60 million pounds sterling in his contract.
The Turkish giants seek to bring him back for good, while the suitors of the Saudi Pro League are continuing their longtime offer to bring the 26 -year -old to the Gulf.
However, Liverpool could give him a place at the front of one of the most exciting projects in football.
Why Liverpool wants Victor Osimhen
With Darwin Nunez who left – Curiously, Napoli continued an agreement for the star of Uruguay – Liverpool could find that they have a negotiation program in negotiations with the Champions Serie for their profitable new number.
After scoring 37 goals in 41 games for Galatasaray last year, winning the Turkish Super Lig, singer Rangy and powerful kept his sharp instruments while targeting a move.
Osimhen has now proven itself as one of the most reliable scorers in Europe, and although the Premier League ostensibly presents the highest caliber in the opposition, throughout a season, which he faced in his career, with Wirtz by his side, there will be more than enough support to maintain the higher score levels.

Osimhen’s complete attack skills and an imperturbable mentality suggest that not only could be a dream for Wirtz, but he would even make sure that the most ardent Isak fans who support Liverpool are able to forget the Talisman of Newcastle.
After having directed the Napoli season, a winner of Napoli of 2022/23, Osimhen established himself as one of the real elites of the game, even described as “the best market striker” of Statman Dave in February.
Isak could be a little more dynamic in his mobility, but the Nigerian is hardly a slow attacker, having been classified among the 4% the most positions of position through Europe last season for the shooting actions, the highest 18% for progressive rails, the highest 16% for ball recovery and the 9% for the air battles won Per 90, according to Fbref.
A recovery of the ball is defined by the number of loose bullets recovered by a player.
He is a “transitional monster” described by analyst Ben Mattinson, with an incredible conscience and positioning that should see him by the dozen in Liverpool, with Wirtz and Mohamed Salah creating chances for him.
According to Sofascore, Wirtz, which is mainly a central attack midfielder, but has the capacity to derive in most attacked areas, helped 12 goals and created 17 major chances during the 2024/25 season.
In fact, a more in -depth examination shows that the German Maverick has an average of 2.1 key passes per game on its entire campaign, for the club and the country, which is a really remarkable feat and the perfect illustration of the way it will improve the performances of someone like Osimhen.
To put this in perspective: Alexander-Arnold has an average of 1.9 key passes per meeting throughout his own career-and, frankly, we all know how his game creation has been unqualified in Liverpool.
Wirtz has proven itself in several seasons in the Bundesliga, winning the price of the player of the year of the division in 2023/24 after playing an instrumental role in the invorable campaign of Leverkusen.
He is just beginning, and if he is allowed to forge a relationship with Osimhen, we do not know how Liverpool could be fatal next year.
